This is one seriously useful thing to do on a sleepless night. I gotta hand you that. I already thought at first you went too careful on that brass. It did need a few more passes. I doesn't have to be really high, but it does have to conclusively stand over the surrounding material. It looks great.

Solid design chops my friend!!

Hi Karl, that centre panel looks great. It would be a shame to put holes in that brass. Couldn’t the key be put in a more discrete 0lace to keep everything on the dash so simple that it’s a statement, I love it the way it is. I wish that welder was around about 10 years ago as I have a mig, a tig and no plasma. Pity about that connector but it looks like a simple fix, that you shouldn’t have to do on set up. Love your Chanel and also I saw you Julio spying from behind those gas bottles, it just looked funny. You guys make such a great team for this fabrication and it’s inspirational that you share your enthusiasm and creativity with us. Keep up the great work.
@chuckster65138 ай бұрын
Hey Karl, Your honesty with that ground connection was important to potential buyers. I hope the maker sees the value in your review of the machine. That waterfall dash is quite interesting. Plain as it was with no further changes was kind of nice. Then your original drawing with the brass and rivet look was exciting. Then as much as I love polished brass, the insert failed to impress me without the rivet look. I hope you take time to think further about the design, because it really has the potential for a very classic look. The complete look of the whole dash has a Gene Winfield sort of style about it which I think is a good thing. Things are happening with your presentations, I hope it all works out as good as it looks to be going. Take Care

Karl! Every single machine you make is of interest to me, but I most likely will not be able to make any purchases &/or build my own for at least 2 years. I hope after that time I'll be set up in a decent working shop and that I'll have what I need to build. My 80 yr old dad just passed away in November. He was very interested in your machines as well as Sosa's. I have no immediate need, but eventually I want to do some restoration work on my '49 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton step side. Beside that I have an old '83 G20 that wants to rise from ruin. A lot can happen in 2 years, hard not to be anxious, but Alas! I must be patient! Keep up all the great work bro!👍👊💪👋

The biggest trouble with all-in-one anything is that unless you plan your work flow carefully you're switching between processes often or the units seem to always be in the wrong setup for what you want to do. For someone with a more limited budget or space issues they're ok.
@fishhuntadventure8 ай бұрын
Ya. And I’m funny about having a single tool that does something very well with little to no setup. That’s why I have a 120V Lincoln set up mig, and a second 120V Lincoln with fluxcore in it. Never had the shopsmith mentality I guess. Whether wood or metal, the ten to forty minutes it takes to really get into the “flow” (depending on the project) is too valuable to maintain to risk stopping to switch over a machine is not worth it to me. It’s time inefficient at best; at worst the ‘art’ factor gets compromised. At least for me. Ymmv

I was wonder about the plasma cutter and cutting the piece out where the brass insert lives, if there was a reason you used a cutting wheel instead. I ask because I think I would be too quick to grab the plasma and do something stupid. I once asked about cutting two pieces of metal with the plasma cutter, like replacing fender panels, etc. and you said you wouldn't. I respect your skill beyond anything I even thought could be done with such degree of perfection. so I only ask because I want to know when is a good time to use what method. My tin bending skills were used for making ductwork and there was a lot more room for error, but I do understand how metal flows for lack of a better word. Love your videos. Oh, and if it were me, I would have the two knobs or whatnots at the top of the brass not only for aesthetics, but ease of reach. It would also leave room for ACC of another nature if ever needed. I think it is already cool and either way is going to work, just my 2 cents.
